HISTORICAL SKETCH AND PROSPECTUS HE LIBERTY LADIESl COLLEGE was founded in 1890 to meet a growing demand, existing throughout the West, for the Higher Education of Women. This demand was made manifest by the ever-increasing number of Western girls who annually visit the Eastern schools or the institutions of Europe in order to reach edua cational facilities that are denied them 'in the West. From this broad area of 2,000,000 square miles, with a popula- tion of nearly 20,000,000, hundreds of our noble girls, at enormous cost, at the risk of health and life from the-change Ofelimate and the perils of travel, go annually to the East and to Europe to secure the best educational advantages. These would all remain here, if the desired facilities were afforded. Surely the benedictions of a great people await the school that is to meet this growing demand. Inspired by this lofty aim, the, founders of the Col- lege set about seeking an eligible location for such an in- stitution. In the classic city of Liberty, a college town, the seat of William Jewell College, one of the oldest and best endowed colleges for young men in the West, with a people famed for intelligence, culture and refinement, near the Western metropolis, Kansas City, was found a spot of ground which beneficent nature seems to have fashioned with special reference to the location of such a school. Here the founders resolved to locate the new College. Aided by the public-spirited citizens of Liberty, they bought eleven acres for the site. Elegant buildings were erected and equipped with all the apparatus needed for a first class Ladiesl College. LOCATION. The location of the College, in the City of Liberty, is admirable in every respect. Liberty is a beautiful town of more than three thousand inhabitants, perfectly healthful, I4 3ZU$B
